The happiness data was pulled from the World Happiness Report 2023 Source
Additional country statistics were merged to the dataset from the following Kaggle dataset
Finally the countrycode package was used to import the continent and the iso country code
The dataset contains 133 countries
Kosovo, Hong Kong, State of Palestine, Taiwan, and Palestine were dropped because from the dataset because the country statistics dataset did not have values for them
The World Happiness Report did not survey every country in the world, so we do not have all countries
